Summary
What if economics class could teach students how to live with purpose—not just how markets work? In this episode of American Classroom , Kerry Montano from the University of Arizona introduces a groundbreaking dual enrollment course that’s transforming how high school students engage with economics. Co-authored by thinkers like Dr. David Schmidtz, Commercial Society weaves together ethics, entrepreneurship, and real-world application into one powerful curriculum. Kerry shares the story behind the program’s creation, why it resonates with students—especially at Heritage Academy—and how it’s sparking deeper thinking about business, purpose, and personal growth. If you’re an educator seeking richer curriculum or a parent looking for something truly meaningful for your student, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
